Training Your Dog Not to Chew Laurie Kimbrel
Introduction ? Laurie Kimbrel earned her EdD at Loyola University in Chicago, graduating with a 4.0 GPA. Formerly a superintendent at Tamalpais Union High School District in Larkspur, California, Laurie Kimbrel facilitated leadership meetings, retreats, and workshops. Away from work-related duties, she enjoys dog training. Among several dog behaviors that may need correcting, chewing is the one that dog owners should approach the soonest. Fortunately, chewing can often be directed to one of your dog¡¯s chew toys.
Training Your Dog ? If your dog chews on something other than its toy, it¡¯s best to interrupt their bad behavior with noise, such as a clap of your hands or other loud sound. Once you make a noise, offer your dog one of their chew toys and start praising them when they take the toy into their mouth. To avoid tempting your dog, make sure that you pick up your personal belongings, keeping them out of your dog¡¯s reach. An additional helpful tip is to use one of their toys when you feed them. For example, if they have a Kong-type of toy or a toy that has an open middle, you can fill it with their dog food. This can create a positive association with the toy.
